Very interesting. I threw a lazy bid on there to keep an eye on it, but I won't be buying. Might do like John and just grab some popcorn instead.

Good luck with it all.

Well in a manner of speaking, it's still definitely not where it needs to be reliability wise, still it has been an epic mission to say the least. In fact thinking back, the guy I bought it off was very shady for selling it like he did, he'd have to be the worst seller I've ever had to deal with to be honest.

If Alexander has serviced the boards and the large power supply filter cap has been replaced I don't see why it wouldn't stay reliable....

Not sure to be honest Steve, my best guess would be the main board needs a little more work as all the voice cards went to Alexander. Regardless, it's time it went to a new owner, I've spent enough time and money on it! haha

Yes just my luck, put twice that into it.. I guess that's what you get for being honest.

But it might have to be be relisted as the wining bidder is from Sweden, despite my very clear listing... gah some people :-s
